The AFL have confirmed the commission met today to discuss the Tasmanian proposal for a 19th licence, although no decision has been made.

It comes after the stadium - one of the key sticking points in the proposal to field an AFL team on the apple isle - was reportedly green lit.

In a statement, AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan confirmed discussions were also held with all 18 clubs presidents and club CEO's today.

He labelled the discussions 'productive' although didn't set a timeline on when a decision would be made, with clubs now having an opportunity to discuss the proposal with their own boards.

"The Commission met today and had a really positive discussion on the business case for Tasmania. This was followed by a wide-ranging discussion – a productive discussion - with the 18 club presidents and CEO’s afterwards," the statement said.

"There is a collective view that if a 19th license is to be awarded to Tasmania it must be done in a way that gives the club the best chance to be successful and a significant contributor to the competition and Tasmania more broadly.

"The Commission was not asked to make a decision today and will not until the clubs have had an opportunity to go through the detail and come back with their views."

Despite reports the stadium had been green lit, McLachlan said discussions with the Tasmanian government were 'ongoing'.

"We believe that we have resolved and finalised 10 of the 11 workstreams and the final piece is resolving the stadium," McLachlan said.

"While those discussions are ongoing with the Tasmanian Government we are confident that we can continue to resolve that issue to the satisfaction of all parties.

"We and the Tasmanian Government agree that a new stadium is important to the success of a new club and the Tasmanian economy - and we agree that we will solve that together at the right time."

McLachlan seemed to indicate that the chances of the proposal being accepted and a Tamsanian team joining the competition is positive however.

"While there is an extensive business case, the key message to the presidents today is that after working through the 11 mainstreams over the past year, we believe there is considerable financial, economic and emotional support for a Tasmanian team," he said.
